Capec-617 Detail
Cellular Rogue Base Station
Detailed Communications Hardware Typical Severity: Low
Parents: 616
In this attack scenario, the attacker imitates a cellular base station with their own "rogue" base station equipment. Since cellular devices connect to whatever station has the strongest signal, the attacker can easily convince a targeted cellular device (e.g. the retransmission device) to talk to the rogue base station.
